override

In Verse, you can override fields from a superclass and assign initial values. For example:

tank := class(player_character):
  StartingShields<override> : int = 100
  MaxShields<override> : int = 200
  AllowOvershield<override> : logic = true
  DamageReduction : int = 50
 
CreateTankPlayerCharacter() : tank =
  return tank{}

The tank class will have values for StartingShields, MaxShields, and AllowOvershield that are different from the default class values.

You can also override method values the same way.

For more on this, see subclass.
